Abstract: In this paper, we are concerned with the local existence and singularity structure of low regularity solutions to the semilinear generalized Tricomi equation

p_{t}^{2} u - t^{m} D e l t a u = f (t, x, u)

with typical discontinuous initial data

(u (0, x), p_{t} u (0, x)) = (0, v p (x))

; here

m i n B b b N

,

x = (x_{1}, ..., x_{n})

,

n g e 2

, and

f (t, x, u)

is

C^{i n f t y}

smooth in its arguments. When the initial data

v p (x)

is a homogeneous function of degree zero or a piecewise smooth function singular along the hyperplane

t = x_{1} = 0

, it is shown that the local solution

u (t, x) i n L^{i n f t y} ([0, T] i m e s B b b R^{n})

exists and is

C^{i n f t y}

away from the forward cuspidal cone

and the characteristic cuspidal wedge

, respectively. On the other hand, for

n = 2

and piecewise smooth initial data

v p (x)

singular along the two straight lines

t = x_{1} = 0

and

t = x_{2} = 0

, we establish the local existence of a solution

u (t, x) i n L^{i n f t y} ([0, T] i m e s B b b R^{2}) c a p C ([0, T], H^{f m + 6 2 (m + 2) -} (B b b R^{2}))

and show further that

u (t, x) o t i n C^{2} ((0, T] i m e s B b b R^{2} s e t m i n u s (G_{0} c u p G_{1}^{p m} c u p G_{2}^{p m}))

in general due to the degenerate character of the equation under study; here

. This is an essential difference to the well-known result for solutions

v (t, x) i n C^{i n f t y} (B b b R^{+} i m e s B b b R^{2} s e t m i n u s (S i g m a_{0} c u p S i g m a_{1}^{p m} c u p S i g m a_{2}^{p m}))

to the 2-D semilinear wave equation

p_{t}^{2} v - D e l t a v = f (t, x, v)

with

(v (0, x), p_{t} v (0, x)) = (0, v p (x))

, where

S i g m a_{0} = t = | x |

,

S i g m a_{1}^{p m} = t = p m x_{1}

, and

S i g m a_{2}^{p m} = t = p m x_{2}

.
